...Mr. Boddington

As you can see, Mr. Boddington's stationary designs are too cool for school. Though they may have started out in New York, you can find Mr. Boddington's deigns in almost every state in America. They're also featured in nearly every Wedding magazine I've ever read--and rightfully so. They're creative designs, bold color schemes and signature font have put them in high demand. 

Check out the many other amazing designs and options they have, on their website: Mr Boddington

--just for fun

this is so great! i wish i could organize my bookshelves any one of these ways. Lord knows I have enough books to do it...just not enough time :/
Enjoy!

coffee!

coffee saves the world! i always knew it saved me but after finding this place, Leah Bowring's "Hark Art+Coffee" is selling people's art and donating the proceeds to help flight hunger. She has a lot of really neat stationary, ceramic, and paper designs but i'm just showcasing her amazing coffee designs here. Yup, coffee designs :) enjoy!! 

I told ya so!!

inspiration boards galore !

This is an inspiration board for a kids birthday party. I have it animal themed with lots of fun bright colors :)

Here is a graduation party, picnic themed. Lots of easy simple food and a relaxed feel. 

Here is an inspiration board for a 50th anniversary party. It's sleek and modern and has the gold color tying it all together (gold is the 50 year present). ;)

...this hair style.

i want my hair to do this!

i stole this picture off of Merriment To Follow's blog. So thank you!!

...mothers :)

The woman that started it all, my grand mother! Now 90 years old, she is sitting in front of the azaleas she planted years ago. She is the proud mother of four, grand mother of seven, and great grand mother of two (almost three)!

from an MFA, to Nuskin distributor, to a restaurant owner, to a general contractor, to CEO of an aviation finance company, to Wii boxing champion. How she has time to go to the movies with me, entertain people at home, and play Wii is really beyond me. A real-life inspirational success story. Today I honor and celebrate my mother. :) 

(because she would kill me if I didn't put a pretty picture of her to counter the above)

To all the amazing women who manage to do, create, inspire, and love so much, thank you. To my own Mother, Grand Mother, Aunt, Sister, friends and family, I hope you feel celebrated today (even though you should really be feeling it everyday). You make the world go 'round :)
